The affected Air3 glasses were sold through Inmo's website, Amazon, and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. They have black frames and an Air3 label on the right temple.

Reviews from seven months before the recall highlighted the overheating problem. Inmo included a protective sleeve with the glasses to shield users from the heat.
## Free software update to fix problem
Inmo directs users to stop using Air3 glasses immediately and contact support for a free online software update that will remedy the overheating issue.
